OTTAWA (CP) – Sgt. Darcy Tedford’s widow gently stroked her husband’s beret and medals as he was laid to rest today at the national war cemetery.
Family, friends and comrades from the Royal Canadian Regiment gathered at the graveside under a grey sky to pay their last respects following a private funeral service.
With her two young daughters by her side, Charmaine Tedford was presented with her husband’s beret, medals and the Canadian flag that had been draped across his coffin.
No family members or friends spoke at the burial, but Charmaine and daughter Kaeleigh touched the coffin in a final tearful farewell.
Tedford, 32, was killed in Afghanistan along with Pte. Blake Williamson on Oct. 14.
